Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study (2021)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., Swinfen-Styles, L., Rouse, J., & Garvey, S. D. (2021). Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study. Energies, 14(24), Article 8524. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14248524

Energy storage will be required over a wide range of discharge durations in future zero-emission grids, from milliseconds to months. No single technology is well suited for the complete range. Using 9 years of UK data, this paper explores how to comb... Read More about Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study.

A case study investigation into the risk of fatigue in synchronous flywheel energy stores and ramifications for the design of inertia replacement systems (2021)
Journal Article
Rouse, J., Garvey, S., Cárdenas, B., Hoskin, A., Swinfen-Styles, L., & Xu, W. (2021). A case study investigation into the risk of fatigue in synchronous flywheel energy stores and ramifications for the design of inertia replacement systems. Journal of Energy Storage, 39, Article 102651. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2021.102651

Flywheels are an attractive energy storage solution for many reasons; high turnaround efficiencies, long cycling lives and high “ramp-up” power rates have all been noted in the literature. Novel flywheel based hybrid energy storage systems have also...

Energy storage capacity vs. renewable penetration: A study for the UK (2021)
Journal Article
Rouse, J., Xu, W., Garvey, S., Hoskin, A., Swinfen-Styles, L., & Cárdenas, B. (2021). Energy storage capacity vs. renewable penetration: A study for the UK. Renewable Energy, 171, 849-867. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2021.02.149

This paper explores how the requirement for energy storage capacity will grow as the penetration of renewables increases. The UK’s electric grid is used as a case study. The paper aims to provide insight on what is the most economical solution to dec... Read More about Energy storage capacity vs. renewable penetration: A study for the UK.
